Why ski Les Arcs?

The Espace San Bernardo lift pass links Les Arcs (via Peisey-Vallandry) to La Rosière in France and La Thuile in Italy — meaning you can ski from France into Italy and back in a single day. Les Arcs itself is one of the best-planned purpose-built resorts in the Alps, and the combined Paradiski pass with La Plagne gives 425km of skiing. Arc 1950 is one of the most attractive modern resort villages in the Alps.

// Insider Knowledge

Arc 1950 is the best base — it's a proper village (though purpose-built) at the right altitude, close to the Aiguille Rouge sector and with a genuine communal feel. The ski-in/ski-out access is among the best in Les Arcs.
